Kid Congo Then and There . An Interview with Kid in 2014

[@John444]

I am nearly finished reading Some Kind of Kick, the autobiography. Delightfully revealing history. He’s a marvel of his era. ❤

[@sandraleepitts]

My book is on the way. Cant wait. And wanna listen to the audiobook as well

[@purrapaska]

The last chapter had me bawling in the parking lot on my lunch break, so good!

[@jetcheneau5811]

I knew it would kick my ass but hearing him read it in his own voice makes me Bleed.

[@patrickjohnmccollough7560]

can’t believe how good he looks and still does

[@3425charlie]

Kid is so honest and real. I love the guy, and his music.

[@MeanManu]

Awesome interview, high quality

[@KATROCKCOUNTRY]

...going back in time 🔥🖤🔥

[@robertcook2680]

I saw the Cramps at the Peppermint Lounge in NYC in 1981 and Kid Congo was with them then. At that show he wore a gold lame blouse. I saw them again later at the Peppermint Lounge (after the club had moved downtown from Times Square), and Kid was still with them. I saw them several more times later on, but he had left the band by then.

[@escapedvivesectionist7011]

This was awesome.

[@margaretwynn8050]

Excellent interview, but have to give you a heads up that, in the 1984 black & white Cramps photo around 15:44, that's not Kid, it's Click Mort. There are only a couple of photos of him in the band, so nice hunting, but: wrong guy.

[@knockersmctaggart]

Wow! Thank you for that. Have known Kid for about 30 years and he neglected to point that out to me HA! I hadn't heard of click Mort. If I can get an Editor to change that and give Click a credit I will. Thanks again.

[@margaretwynn8050]

He was only in the band for about six months, between Ike Knox v.1.0 and Ike Knox v.2.0, and did a West Coast tour. I think there are some photos floating around from Seattle, but otherwise, that photo was the only posed shoot they did, so it's kind of hilarious that you managed to dig that one up.

[@carlstephenson5851]

MARGARET WYNN. I would love to contact him as I was around the bad seeds in berlin around thoughs days lived with blixa and. Bla bla I live in Holland he is. Playing soon at the paradiseo if. Some. One could give me some. Contact. Please. We were in a different space. Back then but we have some history. As far as I can remember but the first gig with the bad seeds I don't want to say no. More carlito and drugstore. Cowboys. X

[@clintrea1]

So.. Keith Morris named "the gun club" and the "Cramps" gave you your name.. who are you?

[@knockberry]

Not sure if this is a serious question. If it is, Kid was the guitar player in those bands and formed the Gun Club with Jeffrey Lee Pierce

[@thevelointhevale1132]

"Hard songs they had" ... The Cramps don't have any hard songs ... they are the easiest songs in the world to play.
